#midweekmealsformums - Sausage Ratatouille

I haven't shared a new #midweekmealsformums recipe for a while (not since this one) simply because I've been a little lazy in the cooking stakes and with hubs working away two nights a week, it's often just me that needs dinner so I've just had whatever's going.

However, I made this meal from basic ingredients in my cupboard and fridge in no time at all when we were all a bit frazzled by the week that was. It was quick to make, uses leftovers, counts towards your five a day, it's cheap (around £4) and best of all, it can be made in just one dish so no stacks of washing up for you!

Here's my recipe for sausage ratatouille:

Ingredients (makes a decent meal for two or two meals if you serve with mash or whatever else you fancy):

6-8 sausages

1 x red onion

1 x courgette

2 x peppers

Tin of chopped tomatoes

Garlic cloves or purée (as much as you like)

Chilli (optional, if you want to add a kick)

Method:

1. Chop your veg into nice chunks and mix in a casserole oven dish. Drizzle over some olive oil and a sprinkle of mixed herbs.

2. Place in the oven (has mark 6) for 10 minutes then remove and mix in a tin of chopped tomatoes and the garlic. Give it all a good stir.

3. Put the sausages (you can brown these a little in a pan on the hob first if you like) on top of the vegetable and sauce mix then place the dish back in the oven.
